Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions. Can’t find a white marker on the market; can anyone help? The yellow only lasts a couple of days. May have to try tying in wool yarn but would mean buying it specially as I’m no knitter!

Charity shops often have yarn

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use. Dairy cow, beef cattle, pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Try different brands. I've found the Carrs Billington own brand yellow and orange show up well and last longer than other makes such as Nettex Marksman.

Also some areas are more prone to rubbing off than others.

If you really need something long lasting then could you use raddle paste? There were traces in our tup's fleece for months after tupping. Just not sure if the oil would be an issue in the hotter months?
